Abstract/OtherAbstract:
A father and his two sons had an autosomal-dominant syndrome of proximal symphalangia and conductive hearing loss. Exploratory tympanotomy revealed a congenitally fixed stapes and incus in the oldest boy. Surgical intervention resulted in normal hearing. To our knowledge, this is the first such histologic report of a stapes in this syndrome.
